In this episode, Dr. Bohn reviews the Five Wishes advanced planning tool.
It is an outline for a living will that addresses Medical, Personal, Spiritual and Emotional needs, thoughts, and beliefs. 5 Wishes provides a conversation guide for patients and their loved ones in an attempt to leave no stone unturned. a tremendous asset and guide for people. These are such difficult topics and not something that we discuss everyday. Having this so well organized and setting aside specific time to review is a must for persons with serious illness. I suggest that this be used by each family member to document their thoughts, feelings and beliefs.
